[ourbluenation]

1. Holy shit! That's a lot of people.....thx for posting!!!!

Very inspirational.

[KyndCulture]

2. Wish we could this off.

[Cha]

9. You know what?

I was at the NYC Feb 15, 2003 Protest to stay outta Iraq and there were close to a Million people..I don't care how many thousands the nyt underestimated it.

And World Wide that day there were Millions saying NO to war on Iraq.

bush and the corporate media sniffed, "fringe people"!

Fuck them.

[tsuki]

36. There were a more, many more, than the 100,000 the media

reported in DC on September 24.

There were more at the Jazz Funeral, Wake for Democracy, etc, than the few hundred the press reported.

You know, covering events is hard werk for our press corpse. Cuts into the time they need for body wraps, facial peels, wardrobe, manicures, make-up and hair.

[tridim]

3. Damn, if only there were a million people

Then our MSM might deem it newsworthy and give it a 10 second mention.

Are the MSM covering this at all?

[mom cat]

59. There were more than a million. Diebold did not count them all!

[Cha]

4. Then there's a

MILLION! Beautiful Pics!

[rodeodance]

7. they need to keep it up for days on end.

[Lars39]

5. k&r What a lovely sight!

[rodeodance]

6. Lovely indeed.

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. Awesome!!

Can we borrow this crowd in November?

[JanusAscending]

15. Yeah, right..........

Minutemen won't let 'em cross the border!!

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. ah we can take buses down there just like corporations do

and bring them across the border. I will call Tyson Foods to ask for advice, ok?

10. Amazing!

Fantastic.

[JanusAscending]

11. So much for crowd control!! I'd be worried if I were

the so called "winner"! and rec.!!!

[Justice Is Comin]

12. Now, that's the way election protest is done.

[Sperk]

13. You taking notes Jebby? That's going to be US when they try to

tell us you won in 2008!

[lonestarnot]

14. Right fucking on!

[thefuzz811]

17. This is great....

I've been hearing about evidence that there was vote tampering. They also used electronic voting machines by Deibold. We all know what that spells. Calderon is going to help the SPP get what they want. I hope Obrador wins so we don't have that crap going on.

22. I heard a report on Democracy Now the other day.

It was very interesting.

51. welcome the fuzz811..keep reading here there is lots to learn!! n/t

62. Students often can be some of the best teachers

The 'MINISTERS' will now serve you. Concepts and details have to coexist to make themselves relevant and without the idea of conspiracy all humans would be in the dark when it come to looking for clues to what is up. Alex Jones loves to hammer on people who have been placed in positions of power (with good reason in my opinion). He likes to point out the language they use, their lexicons and even just the way they carry themselves to show how much contempt some of them have for the rest of us.

All too often we are left with just so few clues that the idea parsing language our best hope. In short, not saluting the appointed king because he doesn't really have ALL of best interest at heart is where we all can meet.

Btw being unfamiliar with terms different groups use does not make one a fool per say, but only different and using a different locution

[Adelante]

24. Mexico does not have voting machines

Paper ballots.

[robinlynne]

38. But Mexico had choicepoint helping out for this particular election...

[IndyOp]

40. Mexico used paper ballots and Calderon's brother-in-law wrote the software

that tabulates the votes. There is still software in there...

The fact that they stole an election on paper is a warning to us all that there is no perfect system, that checks & balances must be installed at all stages in the process.

[Adelante]

42. However, that is not what the poster said

Correcting this statement:

"They also used electronic voting machines by Deibold."

Mexico does not use voting machines

[IndyOp]

43. You are right. Agreed. I meant to add information not imply you were wrong

Who is your avatar, by the way?

[Adelante]

46. Okay, thanks

My avatar is in support of victims of "honor" crimes - I don't know who the person is, just took it for the veil.

[Kajsa]

31. Welcome to DU, the fuzz811.

There are lots of forums to check out.
There is something here for everyone.

[bigwillq]

53. Hello!

Welcome to DU!

[eleny]

18. Thanks for making my day

[struggle4progress]

20. People power! Organize! Organize! Organize!

Hundreds of thousands of folk, grumpy about a stolen election and ready to make a multi-year commitment to fight back ...

[Joanne98]

21. I want to live in a country without protest pens....

[RufusEarl]

23. I haven't heard a word about this march on MSM,

did i miss it? Perhaps the MSM didn't want to give us any ideas here in the states, but i haven't heard a word about this till i open this post.

[lonestarnot]

28. Nope you didn't miss it. It's not there, might give American's ideas.

[karlrschneider]

25. WOW

just WOW


to our Amigos Mexicanas!

[Pachamama]

26. Wow! Americans take note....that's democracy in action!

[hedgetrimmer]

71. Thats not Democracy, it's a bunch of people saying WTF! n/t

[Tuesday_Morning]

27. That's beautiful.

[Judi Lynn]

29. Ha! Someone wrote interest in Mexico in the vote recount is fading.

Yeah, you bet!

They wish.

Thank you for these views. They are the very first look I've seen. WONDERFUL.

[City Lights]

30. Holy crap that's an impressive crowd.

I'm sure when (if) CNN reports on it, they'll say there were a few thousand people.

[malaise]

32. Wow

that should have been Ohio 2004. Go Mexico!

[Kajsa]

33. This is fantastic!!

Viva Obrador!

[EFerrari]

34. How beautiful is that.

Thank you, cal04

[slay]

35. The article that goes along with the pics is excellent as well.

Hooray for Mexico! The people stand up to rigged elections pulled off by right wing corporate fascists. Wish I could say the same for our country.

[Little Star]

37. Puts us to shame!!! Good for them!

[robinlynne]

39. Viva Mexico!!!!!!!

[McCamy Taylor]

41. CNN will call it 100,000 lol.

[blm]

50. Yep - they always decrease left numbers by 90% and INCREASE numbers for

the RW protestors by 90%.

[New Earth]

44. this should have been us

November 2004

Most Americans are too tamed to not protest (as a whole)

[freedomfries]

45. thanks so much for the pics cal04!

Truly breathtaking!

[beltanefauve]

54. Denial

"Most Americans", especially the "greatest generation", who saved Europe from the Nazis, want to believe this is the world's greatest democracy and a "free" country, just like they told us in school. Why, election fraud couldn't POSSIBLY happen here, right?

[Vidar]

47. Applauding Obrador & the Mexican patriots.

[titoresque]

48. WOOHOO!!!!

GO MEXICO!!!!! Damn this makes me feel good!

[mod mom]

49. This is what democracy looks like!

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

52. Can there be any doubt the...

same will be required here if we're to get our country back?

[glitch]

67. No doubt at all. Viva Mexico! K & R nt

[wordpix2]

55. Solidarity with these Mexicans!

[sonias]

56. beautiful sea of people

That is what democracy looks like. I hope they never give up!

Que Viva Mexico!

Sonia

[jarnocan]

69. AMEN and I hope

if the truth comes out - and their democracy is 'served', that ours will COUNT as well.
bush is was NEVER elected president of the US - and our world would be so very different if enough people had told the truth and stood up for our democracy. (I'm not blaming Gore)
In hindsight maybe more could have been done- I don't know- NONE of US knew HOW much tragedy we were in for as a result of the Bush presidency. I bellieve Al Gore did what he felt was the best for US, at that time.

[lovuian]

57. Its time for the poor to take back their country

Mexico can't imprison 900,000 so who won this election obrador


Cauldron stole it...

[klook]

58. Beautiful - that's a lotta "Leftists" (n/t)

[oasis]

60. Jesse Jackson attempted a "shadow innaguration" after the stolen 2000

election. He would've drawn massive crowd in Florida but the rightwingers paid off some bimbo to come forward a week earlier with her story of their "affair".

Perfect timing.

[Gloria]

61. I hope they stay unified if the election doesn't get called for

them.

[SoCalDem]

63. Gee..the other day CNN said a "few thousand" people would march

:

[go west young man]

64. Absolutely amazing!

I wish the U.S.A. had that kind of spine instead of just rolling over because the press says so.

[Az_lefty]

65. Mexico shows U.S what Democracy is really about...

"applause:

[madokie]

66. We're with you,.. dang right we are.

[lonestarnot]
